Web-only sales are plentiful and you can receive insider clearance newsletters by registering directly to your favorite retailer – Lerner, Ralph Lauren Polo, Chadwicks, Newport News all offer newsletters. Consumer comparison sites can also be helpful if you know what you’re looking for. Sites such as shopzilla.com, nextag.com, and bizrate.com will let you type in an item to search for and return results on websites which offer that item, pricing, etc. Although I have found that these comparison sites are more accurate when looking for items such as electronics, they can be helpful when shopping for brand name fashions as well.
I hope that my foray into the unknown world of high fashion online has been helpful. I know that there is much more to discover but this head start might at least give you and me a push in the right direction – towards finding our inner fashion goddess. After all, variety is the spice of life, and sweatpants only come in so many colors.
